Exerting any part of the body past it's comfort zone will lead to inflammation, one symptom of which can be pain.

Not dead, never born.

Welcome back from Shoorum

Even a cursory search regarding best practices with LSD would reveal this was a bad idea. Consider l-theanine, magnesium, and 5-htp. You'll be fine. EDIT: This can be a lesson in attempting to escape discomfort "And all this stress made me drink alcohol, smoke few cigarettes & take 1mg of xanax to calm down"

If we're talking about 5-MeO-DMT hydrochloride, fumarate, or other salt, it is extremely shelf stable. Freebase on the other hand will degrade when exposed to light, heat, moisture, and air.

While I appreciate your curiosity this won't work the way you intend. Reagent test kits won't test for degradation which seems to be the whole point of this experiment. For that you would need high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography mass spectrometry etc. Reagent kits are for the identification of substances and possible adulterants/contaminants.

I have a batch like this all good.

Yes what you described is a perfectly natural part of the exploration of consciousness. The nature of enlightenment is the subject of debate and is a matter of semantics and what we choose to believe. Some would say you had a realization, insight or an awakening, with the distinction being that enlightenment is a permanent shift or expansion in consciousness. What we call your experience matters less than how you integrate it. The primacy of love is a valuable and transformational realization.

@Fluran In my experience we can and do create powerful sensory associations, especially when working with altered states of consciousness, such that something like a sound or song can cause a reactivation of that altered state. This is a well known phenomenon with 5-MeO-DMT in particular. https://youtu.be/K0rU_g7q1lc

@Fluran what exactly are you skeptical of? Based on your post it's the relationship between brainwave states and the tones which claim to create those states such as seen all across YouTube. Have you heard of Hemi Sync or the Gateway Process?

Ultimately yes if we go deep into this work we are required to surrender completely. That being said having precision tools and a protocol for approaching more gently is of profound importance. A full release dose for anyone, especially those without any context or experience with altered states of consciousness, can just be too much. A group I've sat with several times serves a lot of 5-MeO-DMT in a "traditional" manner (high dose single hit toad venom) and it can overwhelm people energetically leaving them ungrounded, sleepless, destabilized, confused frightened, and possibly traumatized. It is less about "control" and more about developing and implementing a protocol for maximum safety, beauty, healing, and awakening. More and more facilitators worldwide are moving to a titrated protocol using synthetic 5-MeO-DMT vape pens of varying strength. Risk mitigation and harm reduction are crucial when it comes to seriously exploring these substances, same preparation and integration. These topics just don't get as much attention because they aren't flashy.

Plug and play. No choosing your atomizer or box mod, no messing with settings, no accidentally having your settings wrong and burning/massively overdosing as can happen when you have a full tank and too much power behind it. Especially with draw activated pen vapes, there's nothing to focus on other than the unfolding experience.

"Also, no reason to use cartridges, they are inferior in every aspect to normal vape tanks. Their only advantage is they are cheap and as a drug dealer you can fill them and sell directly to noobs." "Take shorter tokes, spread them over longer time, or grow bigger balls. 1:12 is already a baby concentration, so you can't make it weaker on that front." @Girzo Cartridges are convenient and user friendly, people just overthink/overcomplicate things. Also one can easily make a lower concentration. Myself and many others in my circle use a 1:16, and for those that are extremely sensitive or want to wade in as slowly as possible even a 1:32 is used.

We are talking about peak (peek) experiences. The shift in consciousness can reveal unimaginable truths which permanently recontextualize your way of being even while the primary effects of the substance are temporary.

Across varying doses? Bioavailability is lower than rectal/nasal.

@Raf salts are active sublingually as well.

One can convert from salt to freebase by heating it with sodium carbonate (NOT sodium BICARBONATE) and a small amount of water.

@Inder in my opinion doing psychedelics with this type of "hard goal" can be a setup for disappointment. That being said healing certainly is possible. Another intention could be to explore, perceive, understand, release, and integrate whatever experience is behind the sensation. In the meantime try this https://www.va.gov/WHOLEHEALTHLIBRARY/tools/therapeutic-journaling.asp

Yes to both. Changa has advantages in that it lasts longer and it is easier to make a gradual approach. That being said you can also massively overdo it with changa and be very high for a long time due to MAO inhibition.

There's a reddit post in which a user discusses using terpenes only, to great effect. I based my use on their suggestion as well as confirmation from other users. https://www.reddit.com/r/DMT/s/DwsrWsk7UL

It only matters in that your vape solution would be flavored

@OBElerthere almost certainly is something available domestically for you. Use German Google or whatever it is you have 😂

Propylene glycol works but is subpar. PEG-400 is better, and flavorless terpenes are best but cost much more. For me it's worth investing in the best materials.

@OBEler any high quality "pen style" battery is what you want.
